Deformation Microstructures and Diagenesis in Sandstone Adjacent to an Extensional Fault: Implications for the Flow and Entrapment of Hydrocarbons
Abstract
Microstructural and diagenetic analyses of the North Scapa Sandstone in the hanging wall of the North Scapa fault, Orkney, Scotland, provide insight into the relationship between faulting and fluid flow during basin development. The results demonstrate the influence of this relationship on fault sealing processes and hydrocarbon migration. During development of the Orcadian basin in the Middle Devonian, the fault moved in an extensional sense....
